Lamentaciones 4

Noch schmachten unsere Augen nach unserer nichtigen Hilfe; in unserem Warten warten wir auf ein Volk, das nicht retten wird.

Aun nos han desfallecido nuestros ojos tras nuestro vano socorro: en nuestra esperanza aguardamos gente que no puede salvar.

As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.

Our eyes still fail, looking in vain for our help. In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
